About Me

I am a seminar speaker and disc jockey at heart who pays the bills by delivering mail for the US Post Office. I have been doing a radio show of music by independent artists for the past 26 years at WCWP radio. You can hear it Friday nights at 10pm at 88.1fm and www.liu.edu.& Sunday afternoons at 4pm at www.mywcwp.com. I love music, movies, reading and Christianity but not necessarily in that order
